This.
I use spoke prep on the wheels I build, and stress them repeatedly during the tensioning and truing process, and tie & solder any crossing spokes on the rear. I'm still riding my first set built 30+ years ago.
If your LBS ain't giving you no satisfaction, find one that builds lots of wheels, or try one of the online builders.
